1957 Cleaning Feature Ken Dodd Mirror Mouth Teeth Toothbrush Comedian Insurance Insured
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1957, we catch a glimpse into the unique morning routine of renowned comedian Ken Dodd. Every day, as the sun rises and casts its warm glow upon his face, Ken finds himself captivated by an extraordinary sight - £10,000 worth of sparklers. But these sparkling gems are not adorning his fingers or clothing; they are nestled within his very own mouth - his teeth. Recognizing their immense value both in terms of aesthetics and monetary worth, Ken has taken a rather unconventional step to protect them. He has insured these prominent and protruding teeth for a staggering sum with a reputable insurance broker based in Birmingham. For an annual premium of £25, he ensures that any mishap befalling his precious pearly whites will not leave him empty-handed. However, this insurance policy comes with certain conditions. To maintain coverage, Ken diligently cleans his sparklers three times daily using an approved brand of toothpaste. Additionally, he must resist the temptation to indulge in rock candies that could potentially harm or tarnish their radiance. In this delightful image captured by Bill Ellman on April 4th all those years ago, we witness Ken Dodd meticulously cleaning his treasured sparklers with utmost care and devotion. It serves as a testament to the lengths one might go to safeguard something truly valuable – even if it resides within their own smile.
